# Symphony No. 2 (Górecki)

Symphony No. 2, the "Copernican," Op. 31 (II Symfonia "Kopernikowska") (sample) is a choral symphony composed by Henryk Górecki in 1972 to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the birth of astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. Composed in a monumental style for solo soprano, baritone, choir and orchestra, it features text from Psalms no. 145, 6 and 135, along with an excerpt from Copernicus' book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium.
The symphony was commissioned by the Kosciuszko Foundation in New York and presented to Górecki as an opportunity to reach an audience outside his native Poland. Typically, he undertook extensive research on the subject, and was particularly taken by the philosophical implications of Copernicus' discovery, not all of which he viewed as positive. Norman Davies commented: "His discovery, of the earth's motion round the sun, caused the most fundamental revolutions possible in the prevailing concepts of the human predicament." Its world premiere took place on June 22, 1973 in Warsaw, featuring soprano Stefania Woytowicz and baritone Andrzej Hiolski.
Adrian Thomas writes in the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, Second Edition, "The second movement marks an important stage in Górecki's conversion to a more consonant language since the late 1960s, a process which was clarified in several choral pieces and the Third Symphony." The symphony is written in two movements, following a binary design Górecki had followed in several previous works, "where the fortissimo dynamic, long silent pauses and rapid, chromatic motifs of the first movement are counterbalanced by a comparatively calm second movement.... The thunderous cosmic vision of the mostly orchestral first movement is answered by a second movement whose proportions are considerably expanded in order to release the earlier tensions."
The second symphony has been performed and recorded less than some of his other work (certainly less than his Symphony No. 3), in part because it demands a particularly large orchestra, soprano and baritone soloists, and a large choir. However, more than one interpretation of Symphony No. 2 is available on compact disc. The most readily available is the Naxos Records CD of the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra of Katowice, the Polish Radio Choir and the Silesian Philharmonic Choir with soloists Zofia Kilanowicz and Andrzej Dobber, conducted by Antoni Wit, which includes Beatus Vir.

## Instrumentation

The symphony is scored for a very large orchestra.

# Soissons Cathedral

Soissons Cathedral (French: Cathédrale Saint-Gervais-et-Saint-Protais) is a Gothic basilica church in Soissons, France. It is the seat of the Bishop of Soissons, Laon, and Saint-Quentin. The construction of the south transept was begun about 1177, and the lowest courses of the choir in 1182.

## History

The choir, with its original three-storey elevation and extremely tall clerestory, was completed in 1211. This was earlier than Chartres, on which the design was supposed to have been based. Work then continued into the nave until the late 13th century.
The single western tower dates from the mid-13th century and is an imitation of those of Notre-Dame de Paris, which it equals in height (66 metres (217 ft)). The tower was restored after it and part of the nave were severely damaged in World War I. A matching tower on the other side of the façade was originally planned, but never built.

## Description

The graceful southern transept, the oldest portion of the whole edifice, terminates in an apse. Unlike the rest of the building, it is divided inside into four (rather than three) levels.
The choir end of the cathedral contains stained glass from the 13th century. A tapestry from the 15th century depicts the life of the martyrs Gervasius and Protasius, the patron saints of the cathedral. Rubens' Adoration of the Shepherds hangs in the northern transept, as does a painting by Philippe de Champaigne.
Maurice Duruflé composed his work for organ "Fugue sur Le carillon des heures de la Cathédrale de Soissons" op. 12 (1962)
Some stained glass windows from the Cathedrale de Soissons are on permanent exhibit at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland, and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston.

## 2017 Storm Damage

On January 12, 2017, during a winter storm, strong winds collapsed in a significant portion of the west rose window. Large stone pieces of the window's tracery and sections of stained glass fell onto the tracker-action pipe organ located below the rose window, causing severe damage to the instrument.

# Sekhem-ankh-Ptah

Sekhem-ankh-Ptah (also Sekhemankhptah and Sekhemankh-Ptah; fl. c. 2350 BC) was an ancient Egyptian high official who lived during the Old Kingdom period. His main title was that of a vizier, making him the most important official at the royal court, second only to the king. Other important titles of Sekhem-ankh-Ptah were "Overseer of all royal works" and "Overseer of the scribes of the king's document".
Sekhem-ankh-Ptah is mainly known from his mastaba (G7152) discovered by George Reisner at Giza. The dating of Sekhem-ankh-Ptah is uncertain and ranges in scholarly literature from the Fifth Dynasty to the Sixth Dynasty.
Sekhem-ankh-Ptah was married to a woman named Bunefer, who might have been the daughter of a king as indicated by her title "King's daughter of his body". She has her own false door on the East, outside of the mastaba. Two children of Sekhem-ankh-Ptah are also known. On the West wall of the mastaba cult chamber is shown the "Eldest son, official (z3b), overseer of scribes" and "Scribe of the king's documents in front of him" Seshemnefer. On the East wall appears the "Beloved daughter" Merites.

# Mondi lontanissimi

Mondi lontanissimi (transl. Very distant worlds) is an album by Italian singer-songwriter Franco Battiato, released by EMI Italiana on 12 April 1985.

## Overview

The central theme of most of the songs on the album is travelling, either on Earth or in space; for example "Via Lattea", "No Time No Space" and "I treni di Tozeur" speak of astronauts, telescopes and spaceships. "Temporary Road" is a song about drivers who sit in their cars in traffic jams every day, a slow first part in English and a second part in Italian. "Il re del mondo" is an older song, inspired by René Guenon's theories, released again in a re-arranged version.
Also in 1985, Battiato re-recorded the songs "No Time No Space", "Temporary Road", "Il re del mondo", "Chan-son egocentrique" (first recorded by Alice on her 1982 album Azimut), "I treni di Tozeur" and "L'animale", translated into English on his album Echoes of Sufi Dances and into Spanish on Ecos de danzas sufi.
"I treni di Tozeur" was originally performed by Battiato and his female colleague Alice in the Eurovision Song Contest 1984, gaining the 5th place in a field of 19. On Mondi lontanissimi Battiato sings this song by himself.

# Baby Gate (album)

Baby Gate is a studio album by Italian singer Mina, released in October 1974 by PDU and distributed by EMI Italiana. It was originally released as a double album along with Mina$^®$.

## Overview

The name of the album comes from the pseudonym used by the singer at the beginning of her career. As Mina, she recorded songs in Italian, as Baby Gate she recorded songs only in English for foreign releases. The idea was to try to figure out which of the two images and two different forms of expression would be more successful. The pseudonym Baby Gate existed for a relatively short time (from December 1958 to June 1959). The album is recorded in English and is filled with cover versions of popular songs from the 1950s.

## Personnel

* Mina – vocals
* Pino Presti – arrangement

# Net and wall games

Net and wall games are court games where either a net separates the opponents or a wall serves to reflect the ball to the opponent. The object of these games is to hit or throw the ball or bird over the net or against the wall back to the opponent. Play typically begins with one side serving the ball/bird by initially tossing or releasing it and then hitting/throwing it over the net or to the wall. This then starts a rally, in which the sides alternate hitting/throwing the ball/bird. Players then score points whenever the opponent fails to return the ball/bird back. The criteria on what is considered a valid return varies between each sport (such as the number of times the ball may be touched or bounced on a player's side before it must go back).
Sports like Real tennis, Padel and Wallyball use both net and walls.
Some sports like Four square, Ballon au poing, Tamburello and Roundnet has the same logic of wall games using the floor or trampoline in the rebounding function.
The Los Angeles Daily Times reports: "Net sports are unique in that the equipment is light, portable and affordable, and partners and opponents are easy to find. The sports are easy to learn, and the social aspect of the game[s] appeals to those who find the health club to be an isolationist palace of mirrors."
Net and wall games usually include:
* racquet sports such as tennis, badminton, pickleball, table tennis, squash, racquetball.
* volleyball, crossnet, footvolley, Jokgu, headis, roundnet, American handball, Throwball or sepak takraw, where players must hit/throw the ball with the body.
* Some sports like Basque pelota include both the use of hands and the use of equipment depending on the discipline.
The three most popular net and wall games (tennis, badminton, and volleyball) usually involve arching of the back when serving or spiking/smashing the ball or bird.
Although basketball, hockey, water polo, Football and other sports have netting around the goal area designed to more clearly indicate when goals are scored, they are not considered "net games", since the net is not used to separate the teams involved. Similarly, lacrosse sticks have a loose netting that is used to catch and fling the ball, but again lacrosse is not considered a "net game".
* A volleyball match between Italy and Russia in 2005.
* Throwball
* Women playing tennis at the 2007 US Open.
* Fives
